NJ Transit is suspending the service for the installation of Positive Train Control (PTC) equipment on its rail fleet and right-of-way.

One-seat rides have been the goal of the Raritan Valley Rail Coalition since the organization was created nearly two decades ago.

While track connectivity existed into New York, Raritan Valley riders always had to get off in Newark and switch trains because their diesel engines were not allowed into the tunnels under the Hudson River.

That changed in 2014, when NJ Transit began using dual-mode locomotives that could switch from diesel to electric power, making it possible to have a direct ride into New York City.
